The Camry GT, is a forgotten about model. Came with a 3sge engine instead of the regular 3sfe. If any of them are still on the road it’s probably in the single digits at this point.
The Mitsubishi Debonair V was actually designed by Hyundai of South Korea, where it was marketed as the Hyundai Grandeur. It used Mitsubishi mechanicals, as was the way of Hyundai in the early days. I travelled in a Hyundai Grandeur in South Korea in 1988; great car.
@@FrankTimms-cs5hl - The Hyundai Grandeur had chassis code YFL The (same) Mitsubishi Debonair V had chassis codes S11A/S12A The American market Galant Sigma/Sigma of the same era had chassis code E11 thru E19, dependant on engine size I'd take an educated guess that the chassis' you refer to are not 100% interchangeable, but that there is probably a lot of commonality between certain components; more than you'd normally expect.
8:40 'Freedom units'... There is a reason, why the metric system overrules inches, feet, yards, pounds, ounces, elbows, toes and arses' circumferences as units. !!!
I had one of those smal Daihatsu's. No idea what model or model year. But it was fun. Had a 3-cyl. petrol engine very rev. friendly and FWD. Was a hoot to take off from redlight leaving rubber along the way. 😂
That was really interesting. So many great Innovations from Japan could see their designs inspired other countries they didn't just copy Such a shame companies like Mitsubishi have gone under.
Interesting video! It feels good to find a good car narrative channel that has a real voice, instead of AI generated. Got yourself a new subscriber! :)
@@Bman1878Yup. And a "bonnet" goes on a woman's head, a "boot" goes on a person's foot, And a "saloon" is a place in the old west cowboys get drunk in. 😂
@@theroyalcrown9165 can't argue with your definition of 'saloon' - we call them 'sedans'. The Yanks also call the front quarter-panels a 'fender' for some reason, the Brits also inexplicably call them 'wings', yet we call them what they are - 'guards'.
@@Bman1878It's very strange how our vocabulary and accents developed and differentiated as England, United States and Australia etc. Even though it's all based off of British English.
A great car, l owned one new in 1971....but do not say that they had good handling.....they were narrow and short wheelbase, and with those narrow tyres and rims, they were shockers in the corners, BUT, l wish l still owned mine
A video about the cars Japan used for taxis and police cars would be interesting. The Toyota Crown Comfort and Nissan Cedric are some of the JDM cars I would consider importing to the US someday.
The NSU RO 80 came in 1967 it had a Wankel rotary engine plagued with the same problems as the Mazda. NSU never had success with their rotary. In fact they went bankrupt. I've been a passenger in the NSU in the late 1980's getting a lift for a few miles. The engine sounds were very special. I've seen two used for rally - but they were all scrapped in the early 90's - the cars died with the engine - you couldn't get spare parts - at least unobtainium for normal people. Mazda just were more successful - their engines were more reliable if you observed rigorous maintenance and service. The NSU engines often died regardless of having had proper maintenance.
What makes you think that these are cars almost no one remembers. From the comments received, it's pretty evident that most people indeed do remember theses cars. Also a lot of the cars featured are still pottering around and in everyday use and in sizable numbers as well, which in itself makes them anything but forgotten. And tell us, why do you continue to pirate footage from other peoples videos? Sure, you acknowledge those other video makers albeit in the smallest possible sized text, but the fact remains you are stealing someone else's work
Ever heard of "Fair Use" Copyright law? Check my video's description you'll know. Almost every commentary and informational youtuber uses footages from other youtubers. Thank you!
The funny thing is that all these Japanese sports cars are just tarted up economy cars, with triple the MSRP. When compared to the same offerings using exactly the same parts, and only marginal tradeoffs in performance, but significantly lower prices, it's no surprise that Nissan would rather make more Muranos than GTRs or Zs - those are absolutely horrific value cars, 100 grand for a car that only seats two, and it's just slightly faster at the stoplight?
Hi guys. I'd have been happy to let you use my Fellow Max footage if you had asked in exchange for a channel plug.
You can see my description about copyright law of using small parts of other peoples content. And I also have credited your channel name. Thank you!

The Mitsubishi Starion laughing in the shadows
That's "High - jet" not "Hidgejit"
Thank you, this really bothered me. lol
Thank you for the informative video I never heard of any of these
The Nissan Leopard looked awesome, it didn't deserve to be forgotten.

My family the original Grandeur.
It had reclining rear seats, which being a 8 year old when we got it, was the coolest thing I had ever seen.
Was going to mention that too,was that same platform used for the North American market 1st generation Mitsubishi Gallant?

Nice n beautifull design
Wow! Nissan Leopard F30 was at least 20 years were ahead of its time.
I had a Mazda R100 as a paddock basher.
I had one of those smal Daihatsu's. No idea what model or model year. But it was fun. Had a 3-cyl. petrol engine very rev. friendly and FWD. Was a hoot to take off from redlight leaving rubber along the way. 😂
Who else spotted the mistake?
I remember the Leopard because it was sold here as the Infiniti M30.
The Mazda R100 was sold in the USA for 3 model years: 1970, 1971 & 1972.
Her daily goal was to improve on yesterday.
honda city turbo was the civic type r before type r
debonair looks like a buick
Mazda is cool….👌
I think the datsun 240k-gt with fuel-injection is quite forgotten.

Isn't a coop something you keep chickens in?
Yep. Also a "trunk" is something an Elephant has, a "hood" is something the Klan wears, and a "fender" is a guitar manufacturer.

Those cars need to be in Gran Turismo.
Sorry, but Debonair's "V" is NOT "FIVE". JUST "V", came from some meaning...like V6 Engines and VIPs.
Quite sure it’s pronounced Hi-jet, not hee-jet
"Coop"! ...can you keep hens in it?

To be fair the rotary engine compares more to the 2 stroke piston engine.
Could you make a video of the Subaru Outback please 🙏
I'll try include this in upcoming videos about japanese cars

TheRX8 was a huge flop and the death of the rotary engine.
Yeah but I still loved mine and would life to own another
